Veteran Hong Kong pop superstar Jacky Cheung or Zhang Xueyou warns that a cookie-cutter approach that chooses profit over quality has spurred a decline in the Chinese music industry.
With the bottom line as the top priority, new singers are only given a short time to prove their profitability.
Cheung held the media responsible, reminiscing about the days when his songs would play on radio for a year and a half. Now, songs disappear after they've made a mark on the charts.
Cheung also lamented a lack of creative talent in the music industry saying there is a lack of variety with everyone writing the same type of songs.
